Well guyz after all my whining and the 3 week setback we are good to go!!

I had my fianl appointment with the surgeon yesterday afternoon, and signed my conscent form for surgery.:thumbup:

I start my pre-op diet today :w00t: which consists of...

Full Fluids

70 grams of Protein

64 ounces of Fluid daily

800-1000 calories daily

low fat

0 sugar

as FEW carbs as possible

this times 11 days prior to surgery...

May 23-June 2 Surgery June 3

I will be Busy for most of the week I have to go pick my mom up from amtrack on Wed.

Be at middle school at 3:30am on Thurs.

New York Field trip Thur, Fri, Sat, get back in wee hours of Morning on Sun.

sleep and recover Sunday.

8th grade graduation on Monday

Surgery on Tuesday

The Field trip on the liquid diet may be tricky... so going to check out adkins shakes and low carb slimfast for that,

I am just looking forward to getting through this weekend to the Busy week and I think I'll be ok :blushing:

It still seems to good to be true... I know it's a tool and I have to do the work... I am just ready for a tool that will help me with the portion size and help me keep rolling with the motivation I have going now.

I know EVERYONE who knows me is ready for me to be done with this cause im so excited I almost can't stand myself:embaressed_smile:

Here's to a FAST 11 days!!

Kim,

I completely know what you mean about feeling it's too good to be true. I feel like i'm walking on a cloud all the time now and I can't really talk about it with anyone. Everyone that knows i'm going on a trip thinks I am going to a spa.. It was the quickest answer I could come up with.

I start my pre-op diet on Monday.

Happy Friday.

Olive

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
